Mexican government leaders plan to meet Monday with cruise line representatives in hopes of quelling concerns over recent violence in Mazatlán that has forced the cancellation of stops there.

Three cruise lines, including Holland America, which had a ship depart last weekend from San Diego, have decided to divert their ships from Mazatlán, and a fourth cruise line is still weighing whether it will stop there next week.

Mexico Minister of Tourism Gloria Guevara Manzo and Governor Mario Lopez Valdez, along with local and state tourism leaders, will meet with executives from the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association on Monday to outline their commitment to ensuring the safety of cruise passengers visiting Mazatlán and other Mexican ports of call.

Holland America's Oosterdam was diverted this week to Manzanillo instead of making its previously scheduled stop at Mazatlán, according to the cruise line. The cancellation was for one week only, although future changes are under discussion.

"The revision to the itinerary was made in response to recent incidents of violence in Mazatlán," Holland America said in a statement. "Discussions will be occurring with local authorities to determine what steps are being taken to address this issue. Decisions regarding future Mexican Rivera cruises will be made on the basis of those discussions and on developments in Mazatlán.

San Diego Port official Rita Vandergaw said Wednesday night she was unaware that the line had pulled the Mazatlán stop this week.

"I'm disappointed to hear that the crime has escalated there," Vandergaw said. "It’s very disappointing that we have that serious of an issue."

Also pulling Mazatlán from its Mexican Riviera itinerary this week was Princess Cruises. Disney Cruise Line, whose ship, the Wonder, sails out of Los Angeles, has decided to bypass the port through the rest of its sailing season to Mexico. It is instead adding a day in Cabo San Lucas, reports The Associated Press.

Meanwhile, Carnival Cruise Lines, whose ship, the Spirit, regularly heads to the Mexican Riviera from San Diego, is evaluating whether it will still stop in Mazatlán on Feb. 2.

The cancellations by the cruise lines follow three incidents in Mazatlán in recent days, one involving an assault on a tourist as he left the terminal last week. In another, a crew member had his computer stolen, and the third involved an attempted robbery of cruise ship passengers.

“There were three incidents in a short period of time,” said Victor Humaran, marketing director for the port of Mazatlán, and as a result, it raised the alarm of the companies.

Terry Thornton, senior vice president of revenue planning for Carnival Cruise Lines, said the company is sending security teams to review the situation in Mazatlán, "and we'll make an independent judgment. We're still looking at Mazatlán."
